I don't have an Nvidia card (ATI Radeon 6670). After working with CS6 for a few hours, there will be 15 or so gpusniffer.exe processes running in the background, each consuming 2-20% CPU. They continue to run after closing CS6. Since I don't have a supported GPU anyway, is there any way to disable the gpusniffer probe altogether?

I have not read of this issue before, and always thought that GPUSniffer was run manually. I now think that I am wrong, but still have no idea where to point you, to cease its launching. Maybe one of the Adobe engineers will have something useful for you.

I'm not sure this is a bug, and if you wait around for a fix to come from Adobe, you'll get very frustrated.

Like I said, this doesn't run on either of my systems, so why is it running on yours? Something is wrong. You'd be better served trying to find out what and correcting it, possibly with a deactivation and reinstall of PP.

I have this exact same problem, using Premiere CS 6 in Windows 7. Task manager shows about 15-20 instances of gpusniffer running, some if them using 45mb each of system mem. I'd love to know if there's a way to disable it altogether.
